Shout-Out to isande, T Bob and...

[frankie1]

Thanks so much! I am a total nicotine freak and I am going to try to find ways to get it other than to smoke! I have been vaping since the end of July, but still smoke a few each day. Maybe this will help!

Claq que.. hmmm salty pee?? man a salt dipped cigar I know it made walking to work a slightly drunk experience. Tried another and had to take it out cannot vape and lip it. Its a grower.

Descreet strawberry nice candy tint with a rancid tobacco note towards the end. Peach not bad, artic mint.. minty windex but it grew on me.

ODEN CINNAMON STERK! wow taste spice low end tobacco. love it.

ONXY! love it. love it love it. like I am cheeking a bag of earl grey. This is a kick to the chops nic hit and nice flavor.

general wintergreen... Smells like pissed in skoal. But nice minty goodness.

Skruf cranberry... Hmm not sure on this one the bags looked burned..

General black. nice but not as nice as onyx. I will be ordering more fruity wussy packets and the black on black sampler.

I can tell you this.. I HAVE not had dry mouth as badly vaping as I do with this stuff. There is another in there somewhere. I tried all my cans and whew some awesome some a ehh.

Claq Qui is pretty stout, but my favorite overall. Once I got accustomed to the salt, it tasted more like dried fruit to me.. figs, raisins, maybe dried apricots. Dunno, but I love it and find it has just the right level of nicotine for most of the time (but I'm a fiend).

I find all of the Discreets to be excessively sweet for my tastes, but the peach I almost like. However, Discreet was *perfect* for the first week or so as I was "breaking in" my palate.

Oden's Cinnamon ES! I found it outright offensive at first but now I rather like it. I wish the cinnamon was more pronounced, though.

Onyx is positively delightful, but the extreme salt tends to leave my gums irritated if I overdo it. Still, it's delicious and I almost want to EAT it.

General Wintergreen packs a hellacious burn but I enjoy it occasionally. The smell brings back memories of the wintergreen Lifesavers I used to crunch up when I was a kid.

Skruf cranberry reminds me of that sugarfree "generic berry" flavored chewing gum. A bit artificial for my tastes but not bad.

Grov black is a strange one. I think it tastes like caraway seeds, although I know it's actually anise.

As for the dry mouth... drink, drink, drink for now. It'll get better in a few days, a week at most.

Oh, and that pissy smell? It's ammonia. That's the smell of freshness :P

Actually, though, there are certain snus that have less of an odor than others, so if it bothers you, you might want to check some reviews or the descriptions at Northerner. Some indicate the smell of a particular brand.

Happy snusing!

Oynx was my first reach for this morning. Hmm half the packet widths and double the amount of packets in a can and I would buy a case of this stuff.

I had a packet of some sort in my gob all day yesterday, the white portions are perfect since I have to talk my lips off at work.
Gave the UPS guy that delivers to us a wintergreen and he came back for the daily pick up and asked for the web site. I loaded him down with a couple of packets from each. He is a grizzly dipper and LOVED that he did not have to spit.

I do have to say it is over all a nice pleasant mellow way to get my nic on and keep what little sanity I have left.

Dredbull lives! Woo hoo!
Good to hear ya made it through. And after all was said and done you actually turn a UPS driver on? Ay suren' yer a big man in more ways than one

Did you ever contact getsnus regarding shipping? Is it possible to avoid UPS in the future? Sure don't have that option on the order page!

And OBTW,
Free shipping from Northerner through to Oct 31st. Or was that already covered?

I can't keep up any more...

[Dredbull]

Hey IF I can lead the driver out of the darkness of overpriced fiberglass laden BT toxic hell, then so be it.

Dipping is fine but spitter/swallowers are as hooked if not harder and the results are the same. Cancer and tooth loss, dip lip and the withdraw is harder on dippers.

I will check northerner out they have the roughly same prices and seems a bit better selection.
So far overall the products are great, the shipping no so much. I even had a few people tell me the insanity is gone when I can get a trickle stream of nic and not worrying about it.

[olderthandirt]

And of course there's always the carrot and stick approach. Get all the UPS drivers snusing and maybe they'll be more sympatico on future deliveries

Boy howdy, Northerner does indeed have a big selection. Free ship is why I ordered. Great way to try new stuff on the cheap!
